This ambitious book offers a comprehensive guide to evaluation as applied to management development. Although it does deal in detail with the technical aspects of evaluation, its main value probably lies in its treatment of more subtle and possibly more important questions such as the politics of using evaluations, the range of purposes to which they may be put, and the effect of different contexts on evaluation practice.
The new edition reflects the many changes that have taken place in the world of management since the original text was compiled, in particular the Management Charter Initiative and the move towards competence-based training. The text has been updated throughout, and many new examples and case studies have been added, including a number from Europe and North America.
For anyone concerned with management development, whether as teacher, trainer or consultant, Dr Easterby-Smith's text will be indispensable.
